After Spring’s jaunt to the Caribbean, Tommy Hilfiger sailed closer to home for Pre-Fall. The new collection had a nautical theme that was right in line with the spirit of the brand, down to the patriotic red, white, and blue logo. Whether you remember photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt’s V-J Day kissing image or that infamous Fleet Week Sex and the City episode, the appeal of a dashing seaman is the same: Between charming Breton stripes, naval coats, and sailor tattoo prints, this season there was plenty of that love to go around.

The familiar Tommy classics got the nautical treatment, starting with the varsity jackets of Fall, which were reconfigured with a sailor collar and likely to be just as popular. With their shiny gold buttons and high-waisted cut, the raw denim in the collection was a nice update on the traditional wool sailor pant: Worn with a matching jean jacket, the resulting look was a fresh take on the Texas tuxedo. The counterintuitive styling in the collection is sure to give gorgeous tomboys such as model Immy Waterhouse—sister of Suki, who stars in the lookbook—new fashion ideas, too. The perfect match? A ’30s-inspired print frock paired with an oversize military coat that could have been borrowed from your boyfriend, in this case a handsome man in uniform.
